Cheaters? :(

This afternoon, Nugget's entry to the Bow & Wow contest got a lot of votes from obviously fake facebook accounts. To make things worse, somebody pointed out that we have been cheating the whole time! I don't really know how to feel because I have been very excited about this contest. Very excited to the point that I have been promoting our entry non stop for the past 2 days through all my social networking sites (facebook, plurk, tumblr, yahoo messenger, friendster and even through text messages). A bit obsessive? Yes... but I will never make fake accounts to increase our votes. Nugget does not even have his own facebook account. In fact I even voted for the other cats because dogs have been winning for the past 3 weeks. I have nothing against dogs but I just thought it would be cool to have a cat win for a change. Sigh. This contest was supposed to be fun and now I feel really silly for even joining.

I just popped in from the Blog Hop! Like magic! Don't worry about how others feel about it. As long as you know you played fair, that's all that matters. Okay, enough of the fluffy stuff... it's about time a cat won! I had absolutely nothing to do with this by the way. (ask my lawyers if you don't believe me!)

I just saw the comment on Nugget's page. That was rude! Although I had a totally different reason, I felt the same way after Theme 2. I was upset for a day, and I thought this will be a fun contest for pets! But don't worry about it. As long as we know our babies are the cutest, then we'll always feel good looking at them :) Purrs to Nugget from Qish & Rue!

Oh, and I hope that next time, they'll put cats and dogs in separate categories! It's just not fair comparing two different species; and dogs are clearly more popular than cats :(
